LEXINGTON, Va. - Trinity (Conn.) sophomore
midfielder Rachel Romanowsky (Hampstead, N.H./Derryfield) scored
the game-winning goal on a free-position shot with just 32 seconds
left in the second overtime period as the No. 11 Bantams defeated
seventh-ranked Washington and Lee, 14-13, in women's lacrosse
action on Tuesday afternoon at Watt Field.
The Bantams (5-0) held a slight 5-4 edge at halftime on the

scoring four of the first six goals in the second stanza to take an
8-7 lead at the 18:23 mark. Trinity senior attacker Jesse Schultz
(Troy, N.Y./Emma Willard) then tied the contest, 8-8, when she made
